EXHIBITION OP MR. MARSDEN'S PICTURE, IN THE QUADRANT, REGENT-SRTEET. Mr. Marsden,..dioung Artist of considerable .pro mise, has now submitted to the public a large picture on a historical subje4. Feeling deep interest ni the development of national genius in the Fine Arts, we availed ourselves of an early opportunity of going to view this painting ; and, havinwtormed our most deli berate and dispassionate judgment upon it, we proceed to state our - opinion -,tp our Readers, and to request them to verify or refute it by their own inspection. The subject selected is the faith of the Centurion, in petitioning our Saviour to come and heal his ser vant (St. Mutt. viii. 5.) The choice of a subject is, in our opinion. perhaps the most essential preliminary step to the production of a good picture - ;. and we must say the artist has, in. this respect at least, avoided the fault which, in liniine; often renders Useless all the subsequent skill - and. labour of the painter. The subjecthere choSen combines an exemplification of se veral grand and elevated squalitiel,''which are well em bodied in the principal characters,--divine dignity, - dwer,: and condescension, on the one hand ; and humility. and faith, on the. other,--well. contrasted with the mirkS of worldly authority, contemplation, devotion, and earnestness, in one set: of the attendant perst.nages, and curiosity and thiubt, in the other. Here are the elements of a fine coinposition,'and they are worked up in A design which is ,worthy., of them. The grouping is excellent ; and , the expression, both of feature and attitude, - is, in general, very correct arid forcible.- The figure and countenance of the cen turion is ibitt which strikes Us most ; 'and, next to him, the group of disciples in the back-ground, 'which (without .intending any : unmeaning ., compliment) we do not hesitate to say is truly Raphaiilian. The failure (a point in which Raphael failed) is in the head and face of our Lord; the features do not con vey an idea of adequate sublimity.; and the shape of the head is somewhat ungraceful, rising too much at the crown; but the tints are good and harmonious, and the draperies admirable :—the style of outline possesses .a pleasing softness, and, upon the whole, the composition displays the hand of an artist who disdains to follow the outreibsinditiea into . which . so many painters of the day are prone to run, with the idea, of producing novel and striking effects, but is content to study and imitate the models which the great fathers of the art have left us. • PARLIAMENTARY' PROCEEDINGS.

FROM ♦ CORRISPONDVM) ' The triennial and ancient' celebration of Eton Man tern took place yesterday, when the sons of Old Etona shone forth in all the , gay varieties of costume which art or fancy could ; indeed the splendour of the dresses far eclipsed in magnificence those of anyformer period. From an early hour in the morning, the road from the . Metropolis was crowded with carriages, con taining an elegant assemblage of females, friends, and old Etonian, all anxious, to witness and parti cipate in the 'support of ‘ this interesting ceremony. At an early hour in the morning, the accustomed procession took place round the College-yard, when the Captain (Mr. Pickering) having spoken his ora tion, proceeded to marshal his tiny warriors, and salt bearers were dispatched in every direction. to levy the accustomed contributions upon the passers by—a ser vice which was performed in: a very gentlemanly and decorous manner. At about half-past one, the assem blage of nobility and gentry at. Salt-hill was very con sideralde ; but .much disappointment was expressed when it .was known duo his Majesty would 'tot be, According to his gracious intention - able to attend. A .little eforetwo, the grand cavalcade ,of , Montem made its appearance, extendingfor half a mile along the main road.from Slough, and - in front of the ancient druidical Mount, where the Ensign (Mr. Vallaneey) was quickly seen displaying his skill and prowess in gracefully wav ing the silk flags, which forms the principal feature of _the Montem ceremony. The scene Was at this. mo ment unusually brilliantly, as, independent, of the Sparkling of the embroidered dresses of the Etonian, the lustre of bright eyes And charining faces in the our rounding . carriageS, aided BY all the advantages .Of fa , shionabre embellisliment,icoded, in no inconsiderable -degree, to heighten the splendour of the picture.-- Among the moat distinguished of the visitors, many nr*ihom must entertain a filial regard for old father Etona, we observed his Grace the Duke of Nortlunn berland, Lords M , Donnel and, Rolle, Sir C. Coekerell, Mr. Canning and -family, Mr. Robinson, and many others of equal note. A very splendi& re• past for the Etonians and their friends was, as usual, prepared at Mr. 13otham's, where: forty tables, including one for Dr. Keate, the Masters, and twenty - six-distinguished visitors, spread-forth a most' inviting banquet to commemorate' the pyous day:. The col lection was not, we hear, quite &pia 'in amount to sonic former occasions ; but this Will be' the less re- grated, when it is known the amount is not a consi deration with the present Captain, whose family is very Wealthy. Poor old Herbert Stoekhore, the Mon tea's Poet 'Laureate, made his usual grotesque ap pearance in his tritiinpbal car, attended by his grace ful helpmate, and drawn, as aforetime, by his-high bred Arabian pony, eimunting hie own verses, in imitation of the ancient God of Song, and levying contributions by the sale of copies, in accordance with the more modern Professors. The'commencement of his Ode is so truly original, that we are indiiced to give the first six 'isms, - as a specimen of its unique style , 4 , fierbertes *calibre, once more • In spite of age k end piing rhenmatic, flop down to Minttent with Verses sttit; To wake the Musa; as I have done before.

The Gazette of last night containkExtracts of Des patches, addressed to Earl BATITUKST, by the late Major-General TURNER, dated at Sierra Leone, on the 2d and 3d March last, giving an account of his proceedings during the expedition which he had undertaken to the Sherbro' Country, for the purpose of more effectually putting an end to the Slave Trade in that District. His, exertions on that expedition brought on the fatal illness, which deprived his Coun try of his valuable life. The immediate object of the expedition appears to have been the attack of the great Slave Dealers, who, on the signature of the Convention prohibiting the exportation of Slaves, had joined those of the Galinas, and were assembled hi eonaiderable force on the Boons River, *here they seized our people, and set at defiance our power and rights. These Slave Dealers were all Mulattoes, deseendants'of Europeans, and men gene rally educated in England ; their education gave them great superiority, and their wealth, great power. The force which General `l' it had under his command was very inadequate to the object ; but Capt. W. F. Co WE K:of his'lViajesty's ship Leven, employed on the surveying service in the , river, having very handsomely offered his coroperation and the 'assistance of the Albatross schooner, with several officers and men of the squadron —the attack was made and the success of thee enterprise was ~most complete —the stockedi l of.' Boom, and the principal town of iVfaceaba, w ith eight smaller towns, havi ng been reduced to ashes, and all the ordnance, arma, *nil ammunition found in the strong holds, taken) together with a considerable number or prisoner& The gallantry of all parties engaged seems to have been most conspie uous ; a nd the wretches, who (as the despatchers state), live and fsttertijy - on the 'blood and ce miacry of th e i r f e ll o w-creatures, re ived a chastisement well merited by their infamous proceedings. The pe rusal of these despatches excites a painful interest from the circumstance of the gallant officer by whom they were written being no more, and of his death having been occasioned by his arduous exertions on the ser vice which he himself describes. Every man' of feeling also, will deplore the lamentable extent to whfch Slave dealing appears still to exist in Africa, and its evil in fluence (5n the passions both of the Natives, and the Foreigners engaged in this horrible traffic. On this subject, we shall offer some further observations in a few days, when we expect to be in possession of some strong facts, illustrative of the conduct of France and other countries, with respect to the Slave Trade. ~~~r,!~!'1ew~- As the General Election is now so near at hand, we cannot help expressing our hopes, that the Electors throughout the kingdom will give their votes less under the influence of prejudice than they generally do on these occasions. The late distresses of the Country have had at least one good effect—that ,of sobering men's minds in a great degree. There is nothing more dangerous than establishing watch-words and tests on particular subjects, by the adoption of, and subscription to which, candidates are to be approved or rejected, rather than by an estimate formed from the whole tenor of their liyes, The cry of " Cheap Corn," or " No Popery," may, in some places, serve the purposes of mean persons who: have no other Merit ; hut will any one who pretends :40. t prineiple, endeavour to exclude an upright and able man from a place which he has long filled with credit to himself and advantage to the country, because he may differ with him in some one point on which the best men are not agreed ? Who would wish to see the House without of all the Capulets." How great is the contrast months ago the London University, (the Deity of the hour) was sweeping along in all the full tide of success ; wisdom came with her, and her progress was the quick march of intellect ; the trump of Fame, (trumpeter, Tom CAMPBELL,) was in the van ; the great flag of knowledge, borne by Dr. Butxszeir, floated above her head; and Liberty, personified by' Mr. BROUOIXAm, supported her train. Yet, although it be actually defunct, or at least immediately in articulo mortis, still we repeat it, the London University will not wholly pass away. It has been the. work of a political party, begun and carried on for a political motive, the ,character of that party has mingled itself up with their scheme, and has been cola , promised by it. The ruling character, the :,mager spirit of a Party; like that of 'an individual, lies tamed beneath the restrictions of policy or the observances of society ;--like the subterranean torrent,—its course, nay, even its existerice, is only to be traced where it is found occasionally breaking its way to the: surface. The project in question partook strongly of the peculiarities of the individuals with whom it originated. In cones!). tion it was wild, dangerous, andimpracticable ;--the ostensible advantage was specious enough, but in r sality, emi ty as a dream, the real political moti ve glaring, and impudent to a wonder. It has failed egregiously and entirely. For our lives, we never could see why an University was wanting in the Cite of London F It is wretched stuff to tell us that we must of necessity build ourselves an University, be " cause Paris, or Petersburgh, or the capital of eac h German Principality, boasts one :—arguments of 'this kind may serve for lack of something better to begin a prospectas or open a speech : but it:is intrinsically nothing. The question is, do we want.tin University? and, if we do, is London the proper place for its erre 'ion, and are the Whigs fit persons to frame its Jaws and superintend its foundation ? With regard to the first question, we beg leave to ob serve that, considering the very crowded state of our Universities,. and their great distance from some of the most populous and enlightened portions 01 the empire, the foundation of a third University in i! w ell chosen situation (the county of Durham for instance), does by no means seem an unreasonable or visit:owl project. But it is essential to its prosperity that such an establishment should have the power of co nferring degrees, and that with regard to fellowships , sc holar' ships, &c., it sinstitutions should equal, in point of respectability, the more ancient foundations of Oxfor d and Cambridge. Now, to - the London University not One of these remarks can in any way be applicable ; no degrees 4nd 17 to be conferred, no scholarships, fellowships' &c. t° offered. The apprentices, clerks, sbop men , and me n ' milliners of the metropolis were to b e excited to s he pursuit of learning by that unsophisticated adm irati on to ' 4- 4 it, so natural to their situation , and to e ssenti al their habits and. occupation. denote to study , the ill digested mixture strange When're consider the time the se men will hlve :4)f knowledge it is proposed to give them, and this to derive Practical advantages they ca n ever expeeb from it,—the progress of knowledge to be made i n l " .

CANNING and PEEL ►ere standing* for Oxford, there is no doubt that the en lightened - Electors - there would be justified in voting for one or other, according to the particular opinion which each. had formed on the very difficult quesi n of Catholic Emancipation-- fOreither Candidate would confer honour even on Oxford. But suppose that Mr. CANNING were to stand for Liverpool, and Mr. PEEL for Oxford, :against some trumpery antagonists, would not. a 'conscientious and rational man, having a vote in each place, give it for both these -men, though, of course, he could not agree with both on that question, about which he might have completely made up his`' own mind? Would he be consulting the interest and dignity of those places, by giving even one of his votes to the first fellow, picked up out of a ditch, who agreed with him (probably) on one point only, whereas the other disagreed only on one-- whilst the rest of his conduct commanded .his highest esteem and veneration ? Decided opinions of our own are quite consistent with toleration for those of others, and the want of that toleration is in most cases a proof of ignorance. The man of real learning has reached that eminence by a tedious journey, in which he may have been quently obliged to abandon strong, holds,whieh he for.' merly held to be impregnable, and will not forget this when judging of others. We shall only repeat that we hope the people of England will look to the real character and qualifica tions of the Candidates, and will only give weight to their opinions on particular points when there is some thing like an equality in the general merits of the rivals. Of all the schemes with which interested individuals I have pandered to that appetite for novelty which has of late been raging • amongst us, we verily believe that there is but one from Which the public may be expected to derive any great or permanent advantage, And that one is the London University. Not that we entertain the most distant hopes that an establish ment will ever be formed wherein the ingenuous fouth of thii.Metropolis shall sit at the feet of OCTAVIUS GILCIInIST. We are not sanguine ;we confess that we have - not the slightest expectation ever to behold the very worthy Doctor BIRKBECK, presiding in scarlet at the Fellows' table, in any of the learned and religious foundations of the London University. 'Neither do we ever expect to behold .the time when sound learning and religious instruction shall flourish imongit us, under the especial patronage and protec tion CUM/411Y BROUCHAMi Esq.

We utterly despair:--bubble after bubble has burst before our eyes,. .until the conviction has gra dually and unwillingly grown upon. us, that it is physically necessary every bubble should burst.
